Creeks and streams, it happens

So, is it for creeks and streams, or lakes as well??

Just creek and streams.

With high water temps, mortality rates would be high even with catch and release.

Every year I've lived in the Kettle it has happened, freestone rivers have a tough time supporting anything this time of year.

But is it happening sooner, longer and more often, or always the norm?
I get it, the snowpack melted really fast due to heat waves we have had and the "no rain" situation.
And some years when snow pack is really low, it can be a normal summer and no water in creeks and streams.

Anyways, i saw it on teletype and it wasnt very clear about what it meant fully.
Appreciate everybody giving full details, thanks.

When I was a kid the elkriver run off would peak around July 10, now it peaks in early June. Yes we get less snow now but it doesn’t help that the valley has be raped by logging. The areas where I’d be up to my knees in snow while hunting bears in late May - very early June are now void of trees and the snow is gone by early to mid April.

Interesting.
The new Documentary on Netflix that has scientists from all over the world, looking at all sorts of thing, whether the barrier reef to Antarctica etc, the rainforest guy said exactly the same thing.
Its not that we are just losing trees.
Its that these forest "hold water".
We are turning temperate forests and landscapes in to arid desserts.
We just don't realize it.
Cant remember the name of Doc, but worth watching.
I really don't believe these folks are trying to scam us.
Some are pretty passionate and to a point of tears as to what they are seeing.
